Italian music and dance this year are among the protagonists of the annual Capital Pride Parade in Washington DC. The Italian Cultural Institute of Washington, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy and the European Union Delegation, presents the choreography of Mimmo Miccolis of the Washington National Ballet and the singing talent of Divas in Drag Italian Opera Company during the traditional Pride parade, this year live again after the pandemic break.
On 11 June, the streets of the American capital saw a Pride parade of Italian music icons, from Raffaella Carrà to Måneskin, preceded by an operatic performance by Divas in Drag Italian Opera Company on the notes of ‘La Traviata’. In a highly visible event, a real cultural occasion for the US capital, the project presents a welcoming Italy, open to diversity and sensitive to the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, represented also through the musical history of our country.
